Message from the Band:

"WolloW" is about how we perceive time and musically about time's relativity. While half of the tracks will run backwards still maintaining the albums flow, we must ask ourselves: Is the perception of time just a tailored suit that we wear? Because how we perceive will change our reality. This could mean your actions are flowing backwards during the listening session.

The album connects different genres like stoner doom, avantgarde metal, post rock, drone, shoegaze and black metal but is not bound to either of those.

It's been the bands premise from the beginning to create a new experience with every release, so this will be the next chapter of mind-bending atmospheric music.                                                           

Many bands and artists claim that their music is ambitious or innovative, however the Mount King is always able to back this claim up. Their latest release WolloW takes this to a whole new level.

Half of the album’s tracks run backwards in order to explore the concept of time. This isn’t just a gimmick to stand out, as each and every track (even the backwards ones) still sound fantastic. It is no easy feat to create music that sounds this good when played in reverse. In fact, if nothing else, this stands as a testament to the band’s level of skill in both songwriting and musicianship.

While these experimental tracks sound fantastic it is apparent that the songs are playing in reverse due to the completely unique sound and essence that they have. Until you listen to them you won’t be able to understand what is meant by that. When you hear them mixed in with regular songs the difference becomes stark. This is a release that needs to be experienced in full to be understood, however each track also stands on its own two feet.

As always, the release blurs the lines of genre and style and traverses the realms of stoner doom, avantgarde metal, post rock, drone, shoegaze and black metal. Thanks to the impressive song writing this fusion never feels forced or disjointed and flows extremely naturally.

Prepare yourself for yet another mind-bending journey that pushes the boundaries of progressive/experimental music from one of the boldest artists currently active in the scene.

GRAVE NEXT DOOR RELEASE NEW TRACK "AS HEAVY AS TEXAS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Michigan stoner metal outfit, GRAVE NEXT DOOR, have released their new single ''As Heavy As Texas'' via Doomed and Stoned.

Listen: https://doomedandstoned.com/post/673367617016315904/gravenextdoor

Pre Order: https://gravenextdoor2.bandcamp.com/album/sanctified-heathen

''As Heavy As Texas'' is taken from their upcoming album, Sanctified Heathen, releasing via Black Doomba Records on March 18.

The band comments:

“ This is the first song we wrote after Covid cut our tour Short to Play festivals in Austin in March of 2020. It was a strange time as we watched the world shut down and one of us became very ill.  A friend took us in for three days and we soaked in the landscape and ambiance of Texas. There was this feeling in riff and rhythm that personified our extremely bizarre and positive  experience. People at the venues were thanking us for not canceling out as other bands had. The Texas metal community has the most hospitable people on earth. The song wrote itself in literally ten minutes. We even returned to Texas to film the music video for the song. ”

Formed back in 2018 by brothers Patrick and Anthony Salerno, and aptly named after the graveyard situated next to their home, GRAVE NEXT DOOR delves into the dark and macabre. Drawing from the iconic sounds of BLACK SABBATH, BLACK FLAG and even CREAM, all blended with the trio’s individual edge. Sanctified Heathen sees the band deliver brutally heavy distortion, doom grooves and powerful vocals. A morbid exploration awaits with lyrical themes of addiction, mortality, war, and their own personal experiences seeping through the album.
